Unbelievable, I Was crossing the A4 at West Kensington tonight, and an
ambulance starts to emerge from A Side road, blues and twos, really
slowly. While on lane of traffic stopped, the 3 cars at the front
of the other just carried on well above the speed limit! Do people have no
idea about courteous driving in the south east? Sooner they ban those kind
of drivers the better.


I saw an old person cut up a speeding amblance the other day. The
amblance had full sirens and lights going (!)

I live near a main road with fire station at one end and lots of
smaller towns and villiages on the other end so regularly
hear/see/endure fire engine going back and forward. What annoys me is
they have the loudest obxnious horn you have ever heard. Peak time god
forbid there is a fire and your stuck in traffic on the main road with
a fire engine behind you. There is nowhere for the fire engine to go
but yet it sits behind the traffic constantly honking its horn (as
well as sirens going). This causes cars at the front of traffic lights
to panic and start to edge past the lights.
So if your stuck in lights. With nowhere to go. What exactly are you
suppose to do? I know fire engines have to get to a fire within a
certian time to save lives. But if there is nowhere to go until the
lights change can't they leave off the horn for a while? (By the way
the reason they don't drive on the other side of the road is because
there is a barrier between the two sides)
